The Church of the Good Shepherd is pleased to announce the appointment of&nbsp;The Rev. Geoff Sinibaldo as Priest-in-Charge and the beginning of our ministry together. 
All are invited to celebrate at a service of Holy Eucharist and Celebration of New Ministry on Sunday, June 28, 2026, at 11:00 am, followed by a BBQ picnic. 
The celebration will be held in conjunction with St. Joseph of Arimathea American National Catholic Church, which shares worship space with the parish of the Church of the Good Shepherd.
Established in 1958, The Church of the Good Shepherd continues to welcome the community into worship and fellowship at 9:00 on Sunday mornings at 680 Racebrook Road in Orange.
Rev. Geoff currently teaches religion full-time and serves on the campus ministry team at Notre Dame High School in West Haven. He lives in Old Saybrook, where he is also a volunteer firefighter and chaplain with the OSFD. Ordained into the Ministry of Word and Sacrament in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) in 2002, Rev. Geoff has served in parish ministry for more than 20 years. 
About his ministry, he says:
Every day provides moments for us to encounter Jesus in how we receive one another and reflect his love, peace, and mercy in our lives. Together, we listen for his voice, discerning where he is calling us. If you are looking for a community to explore faith and friendship with opportunities to serve others, we invite you to join us at Good Shepherd.
